Have Regrets? Enjoy Faster Laser Tattoo Removal at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

tattoo removalWhen you were eighteen, you thought that amazing rose tattoo across your bicep spoke to your rebellious and spirited personality.  Now that you’re a professional, you still have that wild side…

But you don’t exactly want that wild side splashed across your arm in the form of a tattoo that would make Bret Michaels jealous.

If you have regrets about a tattoo, then it’s time to experience faster laser tattoo removal at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  Our medical spa is renowned for our diverse range of beautifying treatments, luxurious pampering – and now, effective and efficient laser tattoo removal.

No matter how large or small the tattoo, the friendly and professional experts at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa can help eliminate your ink and reveal fresh and blemish-free skin again.

So what’s the process behind our unique laser tattoo removal?

Advanced Laser Tattoo Removal Made Easy

Laser tattoo removal is more effective at our medical spa because Dr. Nhi Le uses the Cynosure RevLite SI tattoo removal laser, which is considered to be the gold standard in the laser tattoo removal industry.  The reason why Dr. Le uses this technology is because it removes color much more efficiently than other technologies.

So what’s the secret behind the effective color removal?  The RevLite SI tattoo removal laser uses double-pulse technology, which allows the laser to penetrate much more deeply.  With each pulse of the laser, the micro-particles within the ink are shattered, which are then passed through the body over time.  Due to the deep penetration, this means that more color will disappear over a shorter amount of time…

And you’ll be tattoo-free in no time!

Diode Mediostar Laser Hair Reduction

At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, we understand that our clients want the best laser hair removal service possible.  That’s why we prioritize using pain-free hair removal systems, in addition to the following services:

  • Before you undergo your treatment, our experts will discuss what body areas you’d like to treat, and your desired results.  This can help ensure that you’re absolutely happy and confident with your laser hair removal experience.
  • Diostar Laser Diode Mediostar Hair Reduction is quick and virtually pain-free, which means you can pop into our medical spa for a treatment during your lunch hour.  With our convenient scheduling, you’ll be on your way towards a smooth and hair-free appearance in no time.
  • Our handpiece has cooling, to reduce discomfort and heat. We also routinely use a numbing cream to further reduce any discomfort or pain.
  • We’ve recently added the RevLite Nd Yag laser, for hair removal for those with darker or ethnic skin. This is safe and effective for Fitzpatrick skin types 5-6, allowing us to treat all skin types!
  • Most of our clients experienced 80% of hair reduction after 6 treatments!

Benefits of Bio-identical Hormones

bio-identical hormonesGetting old is a fact of life, but feeling old is more avoidable than you may think. We all know that exercising, eating well and avoiding cigarettes are important to living a healthy life into old age, but sometimes it’s not enough. As we age our homes change, and can have a negative impact on our daily lives.

At the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX we understand the human body and how hormones affect you physically, mentally and emotionally. As men age, low testosterone becomes a concern, as it leads to lower energy levels, decreased libido, lower bone density and loss of muscle mass. Women, on the other hand, have their own issues when it comes to low estrogen. This can lead to skin problems, head & body aches, depression and anxiety.

These are just two examples of what men and women face as they get older. However, there are solutions out there for you, and they come in the form of bio-identical hormones.

Dr. Nhi Le specializes in hormone therapy and bio-identical hormone treatments. Bio-identical hormone therapy is different from traditional hormone therapy in that they are more natural. They tend to be derived from plant substances, as opposed to being artificially created in a lab.

Bio-identical hormones have many benefits, for both men and women, including:

  • Improved energy levels
  • Improved memory & concentration
  • Improved sex drive
  • Improved fat loss & muscle tone/mass
  • Improved bone strength
  • Decreased risk of heart disease
  • And much more…

Bio-identical hormones are a safe way to naturally improve the way we look and feel as we get older. Dr. Le can help determine the best course of action to help you find your “fountain of youth!”

To learn more about bio-identical hormones visit our Victoria office, just a short drive from Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio, Sugarland and Houston. You can also simply leave us your information in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100 to schedule your free consultation.

Ideal Protein Weight Loss At The Fountain Of Youth Medical Spa

ideal protein2013 is finally here, and if you’re like most people, you probably made a resolution that you want to drop a few pounds and achieve your best body yet.  But like with most resolutions, you can feel your resolve start to slip away.  It’s not that you don’t WANT to stick to a diet – you just haven’t found one that delivers results without making you feel like you’re suffering from starvation.

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her friendly staff specialize in helping patients lose weight and look great.  We offer a variety of weight loss methods, including medical weight loss and the HCG diet.  Now we’re proud to offer one of the most innovative approaches to weight loss in recent years:

The Ideal Protein Diet.

What is the Ideal Protein Diet?

The Ideal Protein Diet is a new approach to weight loss because it focuses on one of the biggest causes of weight gain: insulin fluctuations.  The modern diet is filled with artificial sugars and refined grains that cause a spike in the body’s insulin levels.  When the insulin suddenly drops (often referred to as the “sugar crash”), the body begins to crave sugars and other quick fixes to achieve that spike again.  Fluctuating insulin levels also make it difficult to lose weight, as the body is taught to burn off carbs instead of fat.

The Ideal Protein Diet works to shift insulin levels by supplying the body with high-quality protein and limiting the amount of carbohydrates that you eat.  When the body doesn’t have any carbs to burn, this means that the body begins to burn fat – and that’s exactly what needs to happen to achieve weight loss.

Ideal Protein is also a comprehensive approach to weight loss because patients are supplied with nutrient-rich supplements.  This is done to support the body’s healthy development, which is crucial for safely losing weight.

The four phases of this diet include:

  1. Using Ideal Protein packets for three out of four meals, followed by a low carb dinner;
  2. Reduce that number down to two Ideal Protein foods each day, followed by two low-carb low-fat meals;
  3. You’ll maintain weight loss with one Ideal Protein food replacing one of your three daily meals;
  4. And you’ll continue eating the way you’ve been taught to maintain your weight loss results.

If you’re ready to look your best, come discover the Ideal Protein Diet at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. We’re just a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Sugarland and Houston.

  • HCG Diet:  This special diet utilizes a special liquid that contains a unique enzyme that jumpstarts the metabolism and suppresses the appetite.  Users place a drop of the HCG liquid under their tongue a few times a day and watch the pounds come off.  Dr. Le will monitor users of the HCG diet and help create meal plans to supplement this weight-loss solution.
  • Medical Weight Loss: This is a special approach to weight loss that involves meal and exercise plans, weekly monitoring, supplements, and other aids that boost weight loss results.  Medical weight loss is appropriate for patients who are looking to lose a considerable amount of weight.  Dr. Nhi Le monitors the Fountain of Youth’s medical weight loss program.

The Facelift Without the Downtime

Surgery is a scary word that makes most people cringe. When it comes to cosmetic surgery there are many horror stories. Well, what if I were to tell you that it’s now possible to get a facelift without the surgery?! That’s right, Volumalift™ is a new alternative to the traditional facelift.

Dr. Nhi Le of the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX is now offering Volumalift™, which utilizes a combination of Botox and fillers, such as Juvederm and Radiesse, to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and folds. Your skin will appear tighter, toner and softer, effectively taking years off of your face! Best of all, the treatment requires very little to no downtime and is nearly pain-free!

Unlike a traditional facelift, there is no general anesthesia required for this procedure. There are, however, numbing creams used to reduce any discomfort from the injections. During the procedure you’ll have a mirror in your hand to watch the doctor work, so you can effectively control the outcome of your facelift.

This non-invasive facelift can fill and shape lips, lift corners around your mouth, fill nasolabial folds and eliminate circles or bags under your eyes. You can also target forehead wrinkles and droopy skin around your chin and jowls. The Volumalift™ can also be combined with lasers to shrink your pores, erase sun spots, eliminate acne scars, and more!

Volumalift™ is considerably safe than a traditional facelift. With every surgical procedure comes the risk scarring, infection, paralysis and anesthesia complications. Recovery times can last months, and more often than not you’ll need to be prescribed pain medication.

With Volumalift™you may experience some minor bruising, swelling and redness that usually subsides within a few days. No pain killers are needed and you can typically return to your daily activities right after the procedure.

A traditional facelift will last you many years, but there’s always the risk of unpleasant results from the surgery. This is something you’ll have to live with unless you pay another plastic surgeon to correct it. The Volumalift™will last 1-2 years, and this range can be increased with regular touchups. While the results are effective, the Volumalift™ will not alter your natural appearance.

Perhaps the biggest difference between and traditional facelift and the Volumalift™ is the cost. A traditional facelift can cost anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000, and it’s usually worth the extra money to go to a highly regarded plastic surgeon. The Volumalift™ starts at only $1,000, depending on your desired results.

To learn more about Volumalift™ or to schedule your free consultation, leave us your information in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100. Our Victoria, TX practice proudly serves all of South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio, Sugarland and Houston.

Safe and Effective Tattoo Removal at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

That tattoo of a shooting star across your back may have seemed like a good idea when you were younger – but now you wish you could travel back in time and talk your younger self out of the idea.  While there’s no denying that tattoos can be a significant part of your identity, you don’t want to deal with a permanent reminder of that matching Celtic symbol you decided to get with your sophomore year roommate in college.

That’s why you need to find safe and effective tattoo removal – and at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we can provide you with exactly that.  Our technicians understand that your tattoo removal should be a satisfying experience.  From smaller tattoos to large and expansive ink portraits on your back, you can be assured that our tattoo removal procedures will help you reclaim your skin again.

Why Look At Tattoo Removal?

There are many personal and professional reasons why our clients decide to get their tattoos removed.  These reasons can include the following:

  • You ended up getting inked with the name of a boy or girl that you’re no longer with.  While this may have seemed like a sentimental idea at the time, many people often opt for tattoo removal due to recent changes within their personal lives.
  • Many employers are cracking down on tattoos, particularly in service-oriented industries.  While this might seem like your creative identify is being stifled, the truth is that many employers dislike the unprofessional appearance that’s associated with copious amounts of ink.  However unfair this may be, there’s no denying that tattoo removal can work to your advantage in a weak job market.
  • You want to achieve flawless skin again.  This is a growing concern as our clients age, as tattoos that may have looked impeccably fresh on younger skin now looks faded and wrinkled.  Older tattoos can prematurely age you, which is why many clients are interested in turning back the clock by removing permanent tattoos.

So how do we safely and effectively remove your tattoos at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa?

 

Tattoo Removal with Laser Technology

At our esteemed medical spa, Dr. Nhi Le uses advanced laser technology to remove permanent tattoos.  This technology is known as PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP), which delivers up to 60 percent more tattoo-removing power than traditional tattoo removal technologies.  The PhotoAcoustic power penetrates the skin deeper and targets more color ranges, which means you’ll see that tattoo removed faster and more effectively.

If you’re ready to remove that permanent tattoo once and for all, visit our tattoo removal specialists at the Fountain of Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today. We serve all of South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Austin, Sugarland & San Antonio. Schedule your free consultation by filling out the form in the top right corner or calling 361-576-9100.

Get Pedicure-Perfect Feet with Our Toenail Fungus Removal

‘Tis the season for parties with family, friends, and coworkers – but if you’re suffering from a toenail fungus, you may feel anything but party-ready.  With party fashions heralding the return of the stiletto and other toe-baring shoes, many clients may be suffering from a lack of confidence as a result of their toenail fungus.  It can also be hard to feel festive when you know you can’t take off your socks without risking someone spotting the discoloration on your toenails.

Toenail Fungus Removal at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we understand that our clients want pedicure-perfect feet whether it’s the winter season or the height of summer.  Unfortunately, toenail fungus can be a major obstacle in the pursuit of perfect feet.  Toenail fungus often presents itself as discolored or yellow nails, which can often be a source of embarrassment and low self-esteem.

You don’t have to suffer from embarrassment over your toenails or hide your feet around your family and friends.  Whether you want to strap on those stilettos for the big New Year’s Eve party or just want to look down at your feet with pride again, here’s how you can get pedicure-perfect feet with toenail fungus removal at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX.

Effective and Powerful Toenail Fungus Removal

Dr. Nhi Le and her team of technicians can assure effective and powerful toenail fungus removal thanks to the PinPointe FootLaser treatment.  This revolutionary treatment utilizes the power of laser technology to deliver deep and penetrating toenail fungus removal.  In fact, many clients often see significant improvement after just one treatment (70%).  However, it’s important to note that you’ll need to undergo several treatments in order to completely remove the fungus, as this prevents reoccurrence.

One of the major advantages to using PinPointe FootLaser treatments is that clients won’t have to deal with the side effects associated with oral medications and cream treatments.  This means you can coast through the holiday party season without worrying about troublesome side effects.

Clients should expect to have all ten toes treated, as this helps guarantee the complete removal of the toenail fungus.  Fortunately, the entire treatment takes about twenty minutes (ten minutes per foot), which means you could be well on your way to toenail fungus removal during your lunch break.

If you’re ready to whip your feet into party-perfect shape, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX to experience our powerful PinPointe FootLaser treatment. We’re just a short drive from Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio and Sugarland. Just fill out the form in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100.

The Many Benefits of Melatonin Supplements

We don’t just live our lives by the clock on the wall; as it turns out, our bodies also have a unique clock that let’s us know when it’s time to wake up, and when it’s time to hit the pillow.  That internal alarm clock is known as melatonin – and researchers believe it may even be essential in turning back the clock on the aging process.

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, we firmly believe in seeking out the ideal treatments for our clients who want to look and feel their best.  That’s why we’re proud to offer melatonin supplements at our medical spa, as these nutritional supplements have been proven to unlock a myriad of benefits.

Let’s take a quick look at what melatonin is, including the many benefits of regularly taking melatonin supplements.

What is Melatonin?

Melatonin is a unique hormone that’s secreted by the brain and is largely responsible for helping us maintain our natural sleeping cycle.  Here’s how it works: when it’s time to hit the hay, our brain produces significantly more melatonin than when it’s time to wake up.  Melatonin is also responsible for helping to regulate other hormones within the body (especially female hormones like estrogen and androgen), so it’s truly an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

However, many things can disrupt melatonin production within the brain.  For example, having too many lights on at night can trick your brain into thinking it’s still daylight.  This can make it extremely difficult for you to fall asleep, which may develop into insomnia.  Researchers even believe that we experience decreased melatonin levels when we age, which explains why many older adults have a hard time falling and staying asleep.

The Benefits of Melatonin Supplements

That’s where melatonin supplements come into play.  Melatonin supplements help regulate your natural sleep cycle, meaning you can fall asleep earlier and wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized.  Melatonin supplements have many other benefits, including:

  • Easing insomnia symptoms
  • Helping sleep problems associated with menopause
  • Decreasing the risk of developing breast cancer and prostate cancer
  • Helping sleep problems in children who have been diagnosed with autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Discover)
  • Easing the symptoms of fibromyalgia, especially when taken in conjunction with an anti-depressant like Prozac

There are many benefits to taking melatonin supplements, especially if you suffer from an irregular sleep cycle.  If you’re ready to fall asleep without relying on sleeping medication, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we’re just  a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin & Houston.  Discover more about our melatonin supplements today by filling out the form in the top right corner or calling 361-576-9100.
